Talks regarding speed bumps were “put to bed” at Thursday’s meeting of the Multi-Modal Path Discussion Group at Savannah Center.
Almost all district supervisors said they are not in support of speed bumps.
Community Development District 5 Supervisor Chuck Wildzunas said that his district is not for speed bumps. He addressed the concerns about the pair of speed bumps at the entrance to the Village of Bridgeport at Lake Sumter, saying that they will be “determined by other meetings in the future.”
CDD 6 Supervisor and Project Wide Advisory Committee Chairman Peter Moeller addressed the speed bump removed by the Virginia Nine starter shack, where a Villager almost experienced an accident, and said it was under study by an engineer.
Moeller said that he “can’t say” if the district has an official position on speed bumps, but that they would continue to listen to resident input.
Moeller wrapped up the discussion on speed bumps by saying that he thought the group was finally moving on from the topic.
The Multi-Modal Path Discussion Group touched on directional and wayfinding signage. Supervisors had a lot to say about the two different types of signs.
After much talk on the cost, the aesthetic and effectiveness of signs, a lot of the supervisors did agree on addressing signs coming out of tunnels.
All were in agreement that no matter what was done about signs, it would be left up to the responsibility of the driver, of a vehicle or golf cart, to adhere to signs already put in place and to drive carefully.
Jerry Knoll of the Village of Belvedere made his comment on signs and said, “the more signs you install, more confusion you create.”
